Flyers 2017 Training Camp Discussion Thread

[Maurice of Orange]

I'd try these lines as well to see how they do together.
It would allow to roll 4 lines evenly and open up opportunities for the 1st and 2nd lines.

Line 1 LW Lindblom C Giroux RW Konecny
Line 2 LW Weal C Patrick RW Simmonds
Line 3 LW Weise C Couturier RW Voracek
Line 4 LW Filppula C Laughton RW Raffl
Extra: C Lethera and LW Leier
Cut: RW Read

Couturier is good. I like him.

I like it. What would be your D pairs?

 

[Curufinwe]

As I've said all summer, I think Flip is a lock for the top 9.

Think he sticks around after this year?

 

[Rebels57]

Think he sticks around after this year?

Almost no chance whatsoever.

 

[TheWolfOfBroadStreet]

Think he sticks around after this year?

wouldnt shock me at all if he's out the door at the TDL.

Bruh if there was an HFFlyers Bingo card "Couturier is a 3C!" would be the free space.

In 5 years it'll be "We could've had Nico."

After moving up 12 spots "We lost the lottery"

I would go with
1st LD Provorov RD Hagg
2nd LD Sanheim RD Gudas
3rd LD Morin RD Gostisbehere
Extra: RD MacDonald
Cut: LD Manning

Keeps all 3 rookies with a d-man that played with the Flyers last season.

With Patrick I'm just happy he's playing every game and doing quite well. I never expected him to have a good burst and be racking up points just a few months after surgery.

Agreed.

I expected him to be our 3rd line C and hopefully take advantage of easier that our other 2 C would create for him. With G at wing, his matchups become harder.

Next summer will be very important for him. Be healthy entering the offseason as that is when a jump in his quickness and speed will happen.

To jump into the Coots talk -- actual Coots talk, not BS -- when they used the Raffl-Couturier-TK line, Coots was ****ing flying on the ice making moves. He looked dominant.

Then they stick him with both Voracek and Giroux, and he starts playing more passive, like a third wheel. We all know he isn't dynamic, and playing with two puck dominant players in a role where he's implicitly supposed to free up Giroux offensively, I semi-worry about bad tendencies creeping in. He'll be fine. I just prefer him to have a more active role on his own line. It's why [insert plug] - Couturier - Schenn/Voracek/maybe TK has always worked so well in bringing out his best.

100% agree. I want him with lesser players to prop them up. G and Jake are supposed to be our top players, let them prop guys up too. Having all 3 on the same line makes no sense. Not a shooter among them.

Would you have taken the time to make that before this new "like" system? That's what I want to know, Striiker.

But lol. That reminds me I have like 3 videos saved on my phone of Bill Clement moaning or being creepy.

Absolutely. Don't underestimate how much free time I have, or my willingness to waste it on stupid shit that makes me chuckle.

As far as "likes" go, I'll start caring about those when they open up a reward shop for me to spend them on.

Tues was my first experience with the really obnoxious "wooing."

I didnt realize how bad it is.

Its really f***ing bad.

Its really ****ing bad.

I was starting to enjoy watching away games last season more then home games so I didn't have to hear that crap on the tv. I really have no clue how that got started.

 

[Stizzle]

The combined +/- square is easily my favorite. I totally forgot about that.

It it is 10,000 times worse being in the building.

Truthfully I dont even notice when watching on TV.

Only nitpick would be no mention of Hakstol calling a player "reliable".

Haha it crossed my mind, but I already had multiple Hakstol squares so I tried to spread the love around.

That middle row going horizontal might as well be a clean sweep every night.

I like the wooing. My only complaint is I think we as a fanbase can be more original. Dont the Hurricanes fans already do the the Ric Flair woo after every goal scored? Maybe im mistaken.

Gotta come up with something else to yell that hasnt been done before.

Have you been to a game since it started yet?
